The long grain milled/white rice consists of rice kernels that have had both the hull and bran layers removed. Most milled rice is enriched, which gives it a nutritional value similar to brown rice.
Brown rice is simply kernels of rice which have had only the hulls removed. Cooked brown rice has a slightly chewy texture and a nut-like flavor. The light brown color is caused by the presence of bran layers which are rich in minerals and vitamins, especially the B-complex group.
Parboiled milled rice is a process where the rough rice goes through a steam-pressure process before milling. This process gelatinizes the starch in the grain, and ensures a firmer, more separate grain. It can be consistently reheated without becoming sticky.
The parboiled brown rice goes through the same process that their milled parboiled rice goes through, with the exception that the bran layer is left on the kernel. Parboiled brown rice is 100% whole grain rice that cooks in only 25 minutes.
